Hallo,
A batch of sweet and simple Christmas cards for you today - when I am running out of time and still haven't finished all the cards I need to send I turn to a simple layout and a sweet image like this one from Sweet Pea Stamps called 'Little Shepard' by Aurora Wings.
I colored him several different ways with prismacolor pencils (love trying out all the different color combinations) and then cut him out with a die cut and edged the panel with a gold metallic pen.
For the first card he was printed out a bit smaller than the rest and then layered to an embossed background with snowflakes, and I added some gold corner stickers.
For the rest I layered them to the base cardstock that had been embossed with 'Merry Christmas' and then I added a bit of glitter to the embossed part.
All for today - Take Care
Tera

'Little Shepard' Christmas cards - Tera

I am about to adventure into the life of Retirement and am looking forward to significantly more time in the studio, playing with my Grandkids and traveling now and then with the hubby. I have spent 41 years as an RN - mostly in Critical Care. I picked up painting and more formal art again when my kids went from High School into college. I have always done some form of art, even in the busy years of Career, Mom, Military wife - mostly in the crafty forms(sewing, rubber stamping, its a long list...) Now I mainly paint with encaustic wax. Encaustic is an ancient art form from Greece and Egypt that uses beeswax, natural tree resin and pigments. Encaustic is painted while melted in thin layers and every layer is fused to those below with heat( I mostly use a torch). True to my 'normal' self I have 3 or 4 other hobbies that keep me busy too , and you will be seeing(and have been) those here too.

Little Sheperd - Tera
Hallo,
I made these 2 cards for a Christmas challenge which is a great things for me because again this year I did not have enough made and was late with sending off a few of my Christmas cards.
I used 'Little Shepard' from Mitzi Sato-Wiuff and colored him with prismacolor pencils.
I added him to the base cardstock with this beautiful Nativity die that I found - the shepard in the die reminded me of this image which is available as a rubber stamp.

'Little Shepard' Christmas ornaments - Tera
Hallo,
Just stopping in today to show you a few Christmas ornaments I made using this sweet image called 'Little Shepard' from Aurora Wings.
I printed him up smaller than I usually do for cards so he would fit inside the ornament.
I colored him with copics and then cut him out with a circle die and edged the edges with gold metallic pen.
I backed the image with glitter paper and added some beads inside the ornament too.
These turned out so cute and were very easy to do too!!!!
